Languages in service around the world: BBC Panel

In this panel discussion, BBC broadcasters will discuss the
complexities of language use in international broadcasting, and how different
language services offered by the BBC World Service have influenced the
languages in which they broadcast. We will discuss the complex and fascinating
interplay between broadcast language and everyday use, posing questions about
the ways in which languages change as they travel through global perspectives.
Discussion will move across languages, geographies, broadcast genres and time,
to encompass the intricacies and power of language in its service around the
world.
